There was nothing scandalous here — just stating the obvious less than 24 hours after Wilson was credited with the victory in the Dodgers’ 3-2, 10-inning win over the San Francisco Giants. Wilson left without granting an interview after the game.

“I didn’t do anything,” were his only parting comments.

The former Giants’ closer still wasn’t in the mood Friday for expanding on his thoughts about San Francisco.

“I used to face them in spring training, so it’s another team,” he said. “Got to get three outs. I don’t put added pressure into the inning. I’ve always said, ‘I do my job and get it over with.’ ”

In beating the Giants, Wilson picked up his second win in 11 games with the Dodgers and did something he hasn’t done in a while. His fifth pitch to Brandon Belt was a fastball recorded alternately as 95.95 or 95.2 mph — the fastest pitch he’s thrown in a game since 2010.
